Captain America #236

In "Death Dive!", Captain America and Daredevil confront the enigmatic Doctor Fautus in a tense showdown that unravels the mystery of the Grand Director’s true identity. With Roger McKenzie and Michael Fleisher scripting and Sal Buscema’s dynamic art bringing the clash to life, the issue pushes Steve Rogers to his moral limits—can he end the madness, even when the truth is harder to bear than the fight itself? The cover by Keith Pollard and Joe Sinnott captures the intensity of the moment, a 40-cent comic from 1979 that remains a standout in the series.
